Even had the original collector edition with the Dallas mask and other items. Downloaded this instantly.. complete the buggy tutorial... get stuck at end of tutorial.. exit app.. reopen.. now at main menu.. try to find game on crime net.. cant find players.. cant find a solo option.. so i sat looking for a lobby for thirty minutes.. then gave up and uninstalled.. Be realistic guys; this game isn't gonna have large enough a community to be playable only with other real players.. You NEED to make this solo playable.. I am disappointed in all of you that worked on this.. You clipped its wings before it could fly! **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review concerning our game.

It’s a good sign to see monthly seasons because it means new content of some kind. I got to level 19 before season 2 started. A huge shame to see zero content. The first update was bad, but I had hope. Game has only been updated with cosmetics only since season ones disappointing update. Game does not deserve anything more than 3 stars. Payday port is impressive and the graphics look better than PS3 and 360, but everything this game has to offer is a shameful disappointment , and I haven’t mentioned any of the bugs. I won’t be coming back nor spending money on this game. 1 Star **Developer response:** We have shared your comments with the team. We will work on adding more features to the game. ### 2/5 — Could be better *2023-08-19* This could be a good game but right now I’m going to uninstall it takes forever to load anything and I’m ready to quit before even starting a match cause it’s boring just looking at loading screens for so long. The cops and bot partners seem to be buggy cops just stand in place and shoot or glitch into the floor bots just stand outside while you do the work and then come in last minute. The controls seem clunky and is awkward to shoot there needs to be one button for aiming and shooting instead of fumbling with two and the auto shoot is trash you get shot up before it even decides to shoot. I’m sure some of this will be fixed with patches may even revisit later but as it is now it’s just not worth my time. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and review.

Fix 1: LOCKPICKING—— Sometimes lock picking would pause and not pick locks on windows or doors, no matter how long I held the button, the door or window wouldn’t open, I could hold it down for minutes for nothing to happen. Fix 2: SAFES—— My payday: Crime war safe experience has been bad as I have encountered a problem where no matter what, the safes I open have been only from one area instead of spread through the map making it almost impossible to obtain weapons from places like west end cause I’m stuck with crates from a different district. —————— Add 1: SINGLEPLAYER LOBBIES—— There are some times when I just wanna slap someone through their phone because they fire an unsilenced gun and throw the stealth heist AND THEN LEAVE IN THE NEXT FEW SECONDS, I absolutely hate those unintelligent, odorous, slimy, pathetic players. Add 2: OFFLINE LOBBIES—— One of the main reasons why I loved payday2 and the original payday: the heist is because I was able to play offline, and it really helped me get through the quarantine when I was in my shoddy old apartment with internet as fast as a snail with asthma. **Developer response:** We are glad you are enjoying the game. We have shared your comments with the team. We will work on adding more features to the game. ### 2/5 — Great game;awful crashes *2023-08-07* I would love nothing more than to give this game five stars. I love payday and have played every single one, and will play any future titles. Needless to say I’m a fan and am more than happy to support this new endeavor; and what a great endeavor it is and can be! If it didn’t crash every five minutes. I would love nothing more than to play this game but it seems to not want me to play it. I don’t have these kinds of issues on my IPad with any other games that I play. I want nothing more than to spend more money than I have because I want to support y’all. But I just can’t seem to get this game to run for longer than five minutes. Maybe I get one game in before it crashes. Again to anyone reading this, it’s an awesome gameplay wise, but at this moment the crashes are preventing me from being able to recommend it at this time😔 I’m sure they’re working hard to get it up to speed though and I appreciate the effort the teams put in, it’s a great game. **Developer response:** We are sorry to hear this. I have reported this issue to our team and they will look into it and avoid such issues with the upcoming updates. ### 5/5 — Great Game! But Needs More Stuff In The Game *2023-07-20* Please add akimbo weapons , rpg, grenade launcher, minigun, and more weapons, And add more mask plus make it where you open safes to have a chance to unlock a mask , customize-able masks too, and add where you telling all civilians or some guards to get down without holding the button on every civilian like in PD2, And make a Co-Op Multiplayer where you wait for real players to join full lobby and not bots. And I love this game so much, I just want you devs to know what we need in this great game if you are going to add the things I said. **Developer response:** We have shared your comments with the team. We will work on adding more features to the game. ### 4/5 — Glitch *2023-07-19* The game was looking pretty good but after you beat the tutorial and move on to the home screen it says you can collect a new character for leveling up after I collected him I exited out of the game and when I came back in it told me to collect it again even though I already collected him so it stays stuck on the level progression screen **Developer response:** Hello there, Please submit a ticket directly from this link with all info about your issue - https://paydaycrimewar.zendesk.com/ so that one of our Support specialists will help you. ### 4/5 — aa *2023-07-18* i love this series whole heart, but the game does crash a lot. wish there was a way to play solo/close lobbies as playing with other people online tends to break the game more often for me. the AI in this game is also noticeably more useless in comparison to the actual game, they get down very frequently and struggle to aide the player (but i'm not a game designer so take this with a grain of salt, just a personal opinion). it's also Very Difficult to level up, especially with the new update where you get battle pass points in every single vault you open. Also no Sokol :( But still super fun to play & I really look forward to the updates! Thank you for all the hard work you guys have been putting into this game ❤️🫡 **Developer response:** The team is currently investigating the issues you have reported, and I've passed on your info to help with the investigation. ### 2/5 — Too much of a deviation from console versions *2023-07-14* I want to love this game but it’s just not what I think all of the payday fans are looking for. I don’t like the damage numbers, the guns don’t feel great. It feels too much like a gimmicky rpg mobile shooter. There is no way to command police or citizens to give up/get down. The fps drops drastically whenever you get to a wide open space even after lowering graphics settings. Also, you can’t toss the loot bags more than like a foot. Just seems like this game was made by somebody who doesn’t understand what the fans love about payday 2. It has a resemblance but misses the mark. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your review concerning our game. Our development team will definitely consider your opinion and make the game better. ### 4/5 — Great game, needs polish in a few areas *2023-07-02* I am a HUGE fan of the Payday franchise, and so when I heard of a mobile game I jumped at a chance to play it. I knew from the get-go that it would not be the same quality of gameplay as standard Payday, as to let it work for a mobile device, so standard was set. However, the RND of this game… it kills me. You can fail heists because RND doesn’t spawn enough cash, had this happen on four-stores. Also the inability to have solo servers, or choose servers like Payday 2 also tends to be a hindrance while trying to stealth a heist. Performance also needs some improvement, my game will lag occasionally, and the game crashes a bit too. I have no other complaints, it feels like Payday, from the atmosphere, to the music, and everything else. It just needs more polish in a few areas. I would highly recommend playing. **Developer response:** We are glad you are enjoying the game. We have shared your comments with the team. We will work on adding more features and changes to the game. ## Frequently asked questions about PAYDAY ### What kind of game is PAYDAY: Crime War?
